Seattle Weekend Trip

Ok restaurant review!  This past weekend I went up to Seattle to visit Kristin.  She took me to a few great spots which I wanted to share with all of you - ratings and all.

*****Friday night she ordered a take home gourmet pizza from Zaw which in the end was AMAZING (for multiple reasons)!

The pizza had some of the freshest ingredients I've ever had, especially on a "take 'n bake."  If you check out their site (www.zaw.com) one of their claim to fame is their freshness, something that they take seriously.

Kris ordered the Arugula Patch which contains the following fresh ingredients: freshly sliced prosciutto, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil served atop a bed of Parmesan and mozzarella which is then topped with fresh arugula after baking. (pulled from website).


The pizza has a super thin crust and apparently while cooking it you were suppose to keep the wax paper on underneath of it.  Definitely be sure to read all documentation that comes with the pizza!! Otherwise you end up with a pizza falling through the rack in your oven...haha well needless to say we learned that the hard way.  

I will recommend Zaw for a few reasons but one of the most important of all of them is due to their awesome costumer service - besides their great tasting pizza!  I explained to them what happened and they were very willing to supply us with a new pizza, no questions asked.  

Not only was the food AMAZING but their customer service is what you have come to expected  from a GREAT business - therefore I provide Zaw with the highest rating and recommend them for any pizza lover!!  They receive 5 "spoons" - and a personal favorite!!

*Saturday we spent the day shopping at the Tulalip Outlets, but before we headed out we stopped by Kirkland to eat at a Mexican Restaurant called Milagro Cantina - www.milagrocantina.com

The atmosphere was impressive, but unfortunately I cannot say the same for their food. As you can see in the below photo the space was very well decorated with some memorable  pieces adorning the eating area.  A particular favorite of mine was the water fountain with the fire pit located in the center, as shown below.  I also found the many LED Lighted Candles to add a certain touch to the location, something I might try to incorporate into my own home.  


But again all of this mattered very little as the food was not impressive - not by a long shot.

Kris ordered a quesadilla and I had the ceviche which consisted of mostly shrimp, but was suppose to include mahi mahi - if it did it was barely traceable.  Not to mention the dish had literally no salt.  The chips were unique as they were served as one large toasted tortilla, but unfortunately the dipping sauces were bland and flavorless. 

All together Milagro Cantina earns zero credit for food and some for decor - one "spoon"

And a thank you to Kristin for taking me around :)
